I am using a read-only Textbox for status messages inside a Windows Forms application. I want things like the loading of data and some intermediate calculations to be announced as they are occurring.
I find that, in general, it is not sufficient to set the Text property of the Textbox. These intermediate status update messages don't display during these long processes. Nothing shows up until the final "Completed" message when all is done.
Is this a case where an "event delegate" is required? I don't quite see how this is meant to be implemented.
